Firstly, I’d like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and a very successful, productive one!!

I woke up today to a very lovely email from my good friend Wayne (Silverlight) giving me another photo and telling me he will be using this image for a very big speech he will be doing in Southampton soon!

How exciting!!

What do you all think of it?

I’ve had an absolutely amazing year, even if it has been very slow at times. I have had many fantastic opportunities with many very special people! Way too many to mention, so instead I will post all my most favourite images I’ve collected throughout 2011…

Hope you like them as much as I do.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hello!

I apologise for not posting on my blog as often as I should, (I keep forgetting – my bad!) but I promise I will try and make more of an effort and keep you all updated on all the things I do (shoots and new images etc…)

As the old saying goes “New Year, New Start Right?”

I hope you’ve all have a wonderful Christmas and got all the presents you wished for!

The New Year is nearly upon us:

  • What do you all have planned?
  • What are your new year’s resolutions?
  • What are your plans for the year ahead?

Mine are to hopefully get more shoots in. This year was VERY slow, but I suppose it’s been pretty slow for us all? I’m also wanting to do more with my MUA work, so if I can get more shoots in with that, that’ll be fantastic too!

And lastly, as I said above, I need to try and make more of an effort with this blog!!

Well, I will natter on no longer – I hope you all have a lovely few days off over the bank holiday period and you are all relaxed and happy!!

Take Care Everyone – and talk soon!!

But I’m back with another post for you all…

I’ve had a few new shoots just lately and whole new experiences. I’ve tried a few new things and the outcome was outstanding and I was so proud of myself!

I’ve had the honour of working with some amazing photographers over the past few months and created some of my best work yet and i don’t intend to stop now! I’m on a roll….

I’ve worked alongside Wayne, also known as Silverlight based in Bournemouth, Sean O’Malley based in London and many others and this makes me very happy.

I hope you all continue to keep an eye out for my work, because my photos keep popping up every now and then! And I hope you’re all as happy with them as I am?

Here is a couple from my most recent shoot at the Studland Group Shoot with Sean O’Malley:

Mini Group Shoot

Afternoon,

I had a fabulous group shoot last Saturday, the 11th September 2010 near Littlehampton.

I was joined by a stunning model called Sarah Reeder and five fabulous photographers. They were Andy Owen, Bryan Allman, Steve Spurgin and lastly Arron and Amanda from Switch Studios!

Amanda also brought along her gorgeous son Max who I had the pleasure in giving big cuddles to!

In all we covered three locations in the day, from Clymping Beach, to Switch Studios, then to a nearby country park.

It was a great day out, even though it was very windy and started raining half way through the shoot – but we got some amazing photos!

So I would like to thank everyone who participated and well done!

I’m Back…

Ok, so yes, it has been a while since I have posted anything on here!

But now I’m back and on a roll…

I had a great shoot with Dave Greensmith on the 12th August alongside two other beautiful models! We modelled dresses for a new boutique shop opening this coming Saturday in the Locks Heath area, and my oh my the dresses were pretty!

So that was a fabulous fashion shoot – and in due course, the images will be on the client’s online shop!

And last but not least, for now until my next shoot that is coming up soon, I had a wonderful shoot with Nigel Bunker yesterday 20th August, which helped; get me out of that “Safe” area which most people thought I was stuck in…

I’ve seen a few images already, and I am so happy with them, so watch this space, because soon, once I received all my images, they will be added to my website!

So for now, good-bye and talk to you all again very soon! xxx

And on the 24th March 2010, I had another body parts shoot with Lester C, shooting my feet alongside the beautiful Charlotte Manley!

Got a few more shoots planned, so I will be updating you again shortly…

So for now, here’s a headshot from Jonnie’s shoot and to see more, check out my website’s gallery!
